LCN Fall 2012 Urban Expression Collection Swatches

Hi guys! Hope you all had a great weekend! Today I have LCN's Fall 2012 Collection called Urban Expression to share with you. I've tried a few of LCN's magnetic polishes in the past but this is my first time trying any of their regular polishes. The Urban Expression Collection is 4 creme polishes that are great basics for any collection, check out the swatches after the jump!

London Beat is a taupe with grey undertones. The formula was really nice, a little thick but the kind of thick that I look for in a creme polish. I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Shade

New York Glam is a dark grey with strong green undertones. I feel like we saw this a lot for fall but all of the similar shades leaned more towards grey on my skin tone. On me this was much more noticeably green, I really love this one...it's what I wanted all the others to look like! The formula was great again, I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Shade

Paris Chic is a beige nude with yellow undertones. This is a bit too yellow toned for my skin tone but I think it will be a great nude for a lot of other people! The formula was again, pretty great! I used 2 coats for the photos below.

Shade

Tokyo Expression is a dark grey creme. I really like how smokey this grey is, this is my favorite kind of grey! The formula was my favorite of the 4, it was nearly a 1 coater for me. I only needed a second coat on a couple nails!

Shade

Overall I think this collection is great for classic shades, if you are looking for basics with good formulas I would recommend these.

I do think the price is a little steep, the bottles are pretty small (8ml) and retail for $7.50 each or $29.90 if you buy the quad with all 4 shades.

ohmygosh, I saw Paris Chic in the top photo and literally gasped-out-loud! It's such an ugly color, but in a warm and cozy kind of way, lol. The price though... I don't think my wallet would let me buy it :/

I really NEED some LCN polishes in my stash soon...I can just tell they make my kind of creams...it's a classic looking polish line every time I see it...I read where it's the third biggest polish manufacture - know it's really popular in Europe - seems just to be filtering in to the USA...have to look on line (again) to see where to purchase it and hope it's not too expensive or with high shipping.
